New Year, New Game Face: The Perfect Start To 2024

A new year is a perfect opportunity for a fresh start. It’s the time to embrace self-improvement, set goals and try a new outlook for the twelve months ahead.

What’s the best way to help your athletes kick off their 2024?  Give them a new game face.

Here are three reasons why custom mouthguards provide your players the best start to a new year:

Experts Agree

Let’s start the year with some hard truths: athletes have a 33-56% chance of receiving an injury to the mouth or face during their playing career and more than 5 million teeth are knocked out during sports and recreational activities each year.

That’s why both the American Dental Association (ADA) and the Academy for Sports Dentistry (ASD) recommend a professionally made, properly fitted custom mouthguard for all contact and collision sports. In addition, the National Athletic Trainers’ Association (NATA) recommends that athletes to wear “properly fitted mouthguards during sports activities.

With lifelong maintenance, dental appointments and surgeries, a broken or damaged tooth has a lifetime cost of approximately $20,000. The ASD states a custom mouthguard is 1000% more protective than any other type of mouthguard.

Perfect Fit

What makes a mouthguard custom? The perfect fit. A true custom mouthguard is engineered for each specific athlete, their specific needs and their specific sport.

That means they are made from an exact impression of each athlete’s mouth structure and pressed at 120lbs per sq in. And to match each player’s mouth, each mouthguard must be cut and formed differently from the next. Which is why Gladiator custom mouthguards are always cut by hand.

With a patented cut design, Gladiator custom mouthguards are thicker in the impact zones — the areas in front of the teeth and under the molars — providing more protection where it’s needed, while being thinner or having no material in areas where protection isn’t needed — behind the back of the front teeth and the roof of the mouth.

New Year, New Game Face

Only a custom mouthguard allows your athletes to display their personality on their gear. Make a statement and personalize their mouthguards to be as unique as them.

With a choice of 18 solid color options, there are endless color combination possibilities. Logos — from our free or metallic logo options to team logos or something even more personal — and personal IDs truly make custom mouthguards one-of-a-kind.

Only a custom mouthguard is designed to reflect each player’s personal style and help them complete their game face!
